Passivated nanopores withstand extreme voltagesSolid-state nanopores are a core element of next-generation single molecule tools in the field of nanobiotechnology, most prominently in the area of DNA-sequencing technology - Researchers at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center have recently introduced a nanopore-based DNA sequencing platform, which they call a DNA transistor.

Using solid-state nanopores to examine proteinsWhile much of the focus in developing solid-state nanopores has been on applications in DNA sequencing, they can also be used to examine the state of proteins on a molecule-by-molecule basis.

IBM aims to make brain implant to predict, stop seizuresIBM is creating a computing system, called a neural network and powered by the company's TrueNorth chip, that can study the brain wave patterns that indicate a seizure.

Implantable computer chip could spot seizures before they startThe wetware would work in tandem with the patient's grey matter. Article:Click here for the article
